also rounded, than across the median part, base sinuate on each side; 
scutellum broad, as wide at the base as long, cordate; elytra broad, 
short, rounded at the shoulders, ampliated laterally but a little nar- 
rowed in the posterior part, very slightly convex, sub-costulate, and 
covering the greater part of the propygidium; pygidium triangular, 
sloping; pectus and prothorax densely pubescent; anterior tibiz 
bi-dentate outwardly and without any inner spur; intermediate and 
posterior ones without an oblique carina, apical part of posterior 
tibia ampliated, the two spurs inserted in the inner part close to 
each other, but divaricating, compressed, and somewhat dilated, but 
sharp at tip (#); hind femora short, swollen; tarsi longer than the 
tibiae, slender, claws long, curved, the anterior ones have a con- 
spicuously long, curved basal tooth under the inner claw similar to 
that of Macrophylla, but only a very small and basal one under the 
outer, whereas in the case of the intermediate and posterior legs this 
tooth, which is, however, smaller, is under the outer claw, the inner 
ones being merely dilated at the base.

Male: Body short, broad, fuscous with the elytra dark-chestnut 
and clothed with a very dense, short, appressed light fulvous pube- 
scence, the head is moderately pubescent, the prothorax, pectus, and 
femora are clothed with a long, dense greyish-white pubescence, and 
the abdomen with dense appressed hairs of the same colour, club of 
antennee fulvous; clypeus and frontal part covered with deep, round, 
somewhat large, nearly contiguous punctures which are, however, 
very much finer in the posterior part; prothorax gradually ampliated 
from the much rounded apical part to the rounded basal angle, and 
very closely and deeply punctured, the punctures somewhat fine and 
almost contiguous; scutellum with numerous setigerous punctures ; 
elytra plainly ampliated laterally towards the median part, and nar- 
rowed towards the posterior, they have on each side four costules, 
and the outer margins are briefly ciliate; propygidium finely punc- 
tulate; pygidium sloping backwards, deeply and closely punctured, 
each puncture bearing a somewhat long, appressed greyish hair 
similar to those clothing the abdominal segments, but on the exposed 
part of the dorsal segments this greyish pubescence is longer and 
denser than on the ventral; the latter are very closely punctured. 
In general facies this species resembles Agostetha brachiata.
